Scariest time of the year

So today I’m talking about the scariest movie you’ve ever
seen. I have to admit I am no authority on this at all. I’ve raised four kids
and get scared plenty on a regular basis. No kid under forty should be allowed
to drive!

I hate to be scared and now we’re entering the scariest time
of year...except for tax time, of course...Halloween! I’m talking about the
movies. Holy cow. I don’t get why people pay good money to get scared out of
their pants. Heck, I have a pile of laundry in my closet and a spider under the
porch that will do that for free.

I think the scariest movie I ever ventured out to see was
Jurassic Park. The kids and I held hands and screamed for two hours. Every time
the water vibrated you knew there was a dinosaur coming to eat someone. Then
again I did see Silence of the Lambs. That is enough to make you give up
Chianti for the rest of your life.

So, what is the scariest movie you’ve ever
seen? The Shining? The Exorcist? Texas Chainsaw? What made you nearly wet your
drillies or squeeze your dh’s hand so tight to do permanent damage? What is the
scariest movie out there now? I’ve seen some trailers and those alone are
enough to curl my hair forever. And why in blue-blazes do you think we pay and
go to a movie theater to get scared to death?
